Not in here you don’t, Val.
Take it the TLJ opinion/review thread.
Taking something obviously said as a joke out of context like that does you or your views on TLJ no favours.
I didn’t see it as a joke but a veiled insult to someone that has been as outspoken as possible about his dissatisfaction with a number of matters in a very smart and humourous way without drawing the wrath of the mouse and disappointing his fans by being booted from the remaining SW movies he has a chance to be in.
I think you’re most definitely wrong. It was friendly banter, nothing sinister about it. Check out this interview as well. https://youtu.be/YYMga3GHOZU?t=33m33s Lots of teasing remarks like that but obviously there’s a friendship between them and a lot of mutual love and admiration.
To bring this back on topic… perhaps Frink could use Mark’s idea about growing to Godzilla size and stomping the First Order. That would be something.
I certainly don’t think so - go to 35:07 and there’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about. A joke about killing the past and RJ is doing a good job of it to which RJ half heartedly laughs it off while looking down and is obviously awkward in his behaviour, signifying to me he personally has different thoughts on Mark’s comment. You have to ask yourself - why would Mark actually be happy about killing of the past, his past and a character he has been the active custodian of for 40 years and had to think of it as “Jake Skywalker” in order to play the part? He obviously doesn’t agree and this is one of his many little ways he has employed over the past months of letting RJ, Disney and the audience know without actually saying it and causing a real PR shit fight.
Anyway, this is my last post in here about it and I’ve taken my original post over here as asked: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Last-Jedi-Official-Review-and-Opinions-Thread-SPOILERS/id/58010/page/232#1182758
